Thanks, Brendan.

I followed the README instruction and did follows:

1. start a domU
2. in Dom0, run "gdbserver-xen 127.0.0.1:9999 --attach 5", where 5 is the domain id of the domU
3. I got the response:
/*******************************/
Attached; pid = 5
Listening on port 9999
/*******************************/
And then, I lost connection with the domU, I tried both network and console, neither works for me.

4. I run "gdb /boot/vmlinux-syms-2.6.16.33-xenU" in dom0, hoping to reactivate domU with debug command.

the response is as follows:

when I typed "cont" command in the gdb, I got "The program is not being run."

Am I doing something wrong? Any further help will be highly appreciated.

There's a nice howto for using gdb to debug guest kernels in
tools/debugger/gdb/README.
